The Abdulla Bin Zaid Al Mahmoud Islamic Cultural Center (Arabic: الفنار، المركز الثقافي الإسلامي القطري), commonly known simply as Bin Zaid, and also known previously as Fanar or Qatar Islamic Culture Center and Spiral Mosque, is a mosque and cultural center, located in the municipality of Ad-Dawhah, in Doha, the capital of Qatar. It is located close to Doha Corniche and is a prominent landmark in the city.
